Activities<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

With an agreeable year-round climate<\/a><\/strong> and a variety of facilities to choose from, it will not be difficult to engage in a sport activity whilst on holiday in Malta and Gozo.<\/p>\n

The Marsa Sports Club<\/strong><\/a> – Malta’s largest sports centre, is about 4km south of Valletta and lists among its numerous features an 18-hole golf course<\/strong><\/a>, miniature golf, tennis courts, squash courts, cricket grounds and a swimming pool. Visitors can join the club on a weekly basis. Non-members are welcome on the golf course and clubs can be rented at a small charge.<\/p>\n

\"MarsaMost hotels offer facilities including tennis courts, squash courts, gym, swimming pools and saunas. Many of them also offer watersport facilities, including scuba diving<\/strong><\/a>, water skiing, windsurfing and sailing.<\/p>\n

Football is Malta’s national sport, with matches played at various pitches around the islands, including the National Stadium<\/a><\/strong> in Ta’ Qali, limits of \u0126’Attard<\/p>\n

Horseback riding is another popular activity with locals and visitors alike. Horse racing is one of Malta’s prime spectator sports, with races held every Sunday, between October and May.<\/p>\n

Maltese lawn bowling called bo\u010b\u010bi<\/em>, and tenpin bowling are also very popular at a local level. Clay pigeon\/skeet shooting is common, with competitive\/practice shootings taking place on Sunday mornings.<\/p>\n

The Malta Marathon is held at the end of February and attracts several long distance runners from around the world and the Malta Amateur Athletics Association also organises a great number of events such as road races, cross country races and track and field events.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, watersports<\/a><\/strong> play a big role in the activity range on the Islands and equipment is available to rent at almost every major sandy beach or beach club.<\/p>\n

Paragliding, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing and scuba diving are all enjoyed by locals and tourists. Sailing regattas are held regularly between April and November.<\/p>\n

Other sporting events held locally include basketball, cycling, rugby, waterpolo, climbing and abseiling, hockey, judo, wrestling, table tennis, fencing and many more.<\/p>\n
